Shoutout to Alyssa for asking this question about stomach surgery on the live yesterday - I felt like there may be other people in this situation too so wanted to give you a lil breakdown of how to approach it 🫶

Obviously remember this is not medical advice and please be sure to get clearance from your doctor before starting any new exercise routine xx

Hope this helps ☺️

@NoMoreBsPlease

Well, firstly it depends on what the surgery was for. When I lost my arm, no problems, but when I broke my back my abs were done for. I lost long distance walking and sit-ups. If it’s just simple surgery on an organ or something like an arm or leg break, it’s just time to heal. If it’s something serious like a back injury or pelvic injury, it may take completely rethinking the exercise. I recently found that while I still can’t do sit ups, I can pull down on a resistance band to get a similar crunching effect, without hitting my back on the ground every sit up. I used to do 62 sit ups in a minute. Took me 6 months to work from 30 to 62. To get that many you’re really forcing yourself up and down as fast as you can and your back hits the ground harder than you’d think.

I had my back fused a few years ago. I still have a bump near.near the scar site. I also have super tight glutes,lower back on the same.side and limited movement in my toes. Just the normal daily pain as a 40nyr old man who has broken himself working over the years.
